Five minutes ago, I heard the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and looked up to see a six-foot-tall red number one approaching my desk. Had the drugs kicked back in? No, it's a man wearing a red costume in the shape of the figure one, bearing the legend, The number one recruitment agency, Adeco, inflated by a whirring compressor. "This isn't what I normally do," said the man inside, "and it's not just me, there's some doughnuts on their way."

Questions:

Real doughnuts or inflatable ones?

Has this got anything to do with Valentine's Day, and if so, what?

Why are our employers allowing recruitment agencies into the building?
